KENYA AIRWAYS MOVES INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS BACK TO UNIT 2
(Posted 22nd August 2013)
Kenya Airways has just confirmed that they have started to move their international departures back to Unit 2, which has been made operational again following a devastating fire two weeks ago. The airline has issued a statement also informing passengers of slight changes in departure times to be able to process flights in a more traveler friendly way.
In the following the full statement is shown for the benefit of readers and those who are now travelling with Kenya Airways on their international and regional flights:
‘Kenya Airways is pleased to announce that our international departure operations will all be
consolidated into Unit 2 with effect from tomorrow, Thursday, August 22, 2013. Kenya
Airways code-share partners and customer airlines will also process departing passengers from
unit 2. Consequently, the other airlines which were operating from Unit 2 will move to Unit 3.
We wish to apologize in advance to our Premier World, business class and Skyteam Elite card
holders on the lack of lounge capacity. We have plans in place to remedy this situation in the
near future.
Domestic departures and arrivals will continue to be handled at the cargo terminal whereas
Kenya Airways’ international arrivals, incorporating KLM and partner/customer airlines,
continue to be handled at a tented facility at the Presidential Pavilion. Transfer processes
remain the same.
Meanwhile, we are also pleased to announce that we have rescheduled our international
flights for the period August 22-31 to enhance connectivity. The time difference varies between
10 minutes and 1 hour 10 minutes. The full schedule of changes is as follows:
